Description

This is a superfine combo from Herja in Maramureș, Romania. Excellent defined, six-sided clusters of sparkly, golden Pyrrhotite accompanied by white clusters of Calcite and small yolk yellow Dolomite. All species are almost well crystallized and so far I can see, the specimen is undamaged. A super contrastful specimen from the heydays of this great mine. This fine quality was mostly found in the 1970s.
